EXCELSIOR NOTES.

Schoul remains in (; ll"uri$hing CON
dition.
Since my last communication we have
been having >onc beautiful weather and
the farmers in this section have been
buSily engaged gathering in their crop
of fodder.
Cook Bros. after some delay from the
inclemency OF the weather resumed
work in the brick yard last Thursday
morning again.
Mr.. II. 5. Il. Kiblcr commenced haul
ing lumber for his new dwelling house
last week. Mr.. kibler informed us that
he put the carpenters to work Monday
morning,
Miss Carrie kinard, OF the ridge road
section, was visiting relatives and friends
in this community last week.
Almost eight months OF 1887 have
passed and gone. How fast time flies.
Several OF the people in this section
attended the farmers picnic" at St.
Lukes on last Thursday. We are sorry
that business called us to remain at
home, though we regret very much that
we could not attend this pleasant oc-
casion as we learn all who did attend
enjoyed quite pleasant time.
Mrs. #. l.. Wheeler and children spent
Il few days OF the past week visiting
relatives and friends in your town.
Several OF the farmers in this section
who had planted mollasses cane have
been engaged making new molasses the
past week or two. We return thanks to
our friend Mr.. Samuel l.. Sheely for
seuding US sample Of his new molasses.
They are sweet as honey.
We don't believe in ''gossipping" but
we have young man in this section that
does for when he goes to see his girl he
always says I'm just going to see my
neighbor while and at the same time
knows he is going to see his girl. Real
gossipper.
We notice some open cotton has put
in an appearance this week. Who OF
our farmers will get out the first bale
this season?
We dare say if any one has lost dog
they can find him by calling around in
this section at any hour during the night
especially if the owner knows his
'bark." The dog killer surely is not
anxious to attend to his duty or he
would visit this community oftener. The
dogs are not all gone to the Newberry
cotton factory, no! no!
Kinard Bros. have recently erected
new shed over their well. Improvements
is the life OF any community.
We have been informed that measles
are prevailing again in the Mt. Tabor
section. Look out ''iittle ones"
Mr.. A. A. Mates received the sad in
telligence on last Saturday that his
brother Mr.. G.. II. Mates OF your town
was lying very low and desired his
presence. Mr.. Mates at once left for
the above named place where he re-
NAMED with his brother until Sunday
evening and on returning home re-
ported his brother slowly improving.
Mr.. Mates returned to Newberry on
Tuesday again and found his brother so
much improved that he accompanied
him home where lie will remain until lie
recovers his natural health again.
